With NFL free agency set to kick off during the start of Monday’s legal tampering period, it’s felt like a safe bet that New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater would leave for a new team. Bridgewater impressed in his five starts during the 2019 season in relief of the injured Drew Brees, winning every game he started and protecting the football well.
So far, common thought has been that Bridgewater will be rewarded with an opportunity to become the face of another franchise, with Brees expected to return in 2020. But ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Bridgewater is not ruling out any options, including a reunion with the Saints.
